While we are living in a society where information and data have a central place, organizations are regularly confronted to the misappropriation of immaterial assets. This type of workplace deviance represents a strongly hidden aspect of criminality, few reported and which management relies on each others. The objective of this study was also to relieve this lack of knowledge by analyzing the different risk factors involved in the internal misappropriation of informational patrimony (DIPI). In the case where workplace is a complex environment, made of numerous interactions between people and their environment, the proposed factors come from various disciplines and build up dimensions different one to the other. The data used in our research were collected trough a standardized questionnaires that were distributed to employees who handle or have access to data and/or information in the achievement of their work. At last, 66 questionnaires were completed. This survey shows that DIPI is a widespread phenomenon, but still sensitive inside organizations. The major risk factors of DIPI would be inhibition (absence of victim’s personalization and immaterial aspect of the target) and settings factors (opportunity to act and targets accessibility). To a less extend, but not insignificant, factors of participation to creation, work satisfaction and ethical work climate, have a role to play too in the risk of DIPI. The approach and the results support the necessity to conceive the risk globally regarding to measures taking into account both technical and managerial aspect to limit the DIPI.
